Here's what's going on.

K-Drama King The Land had a rough beginning. Many people thought that the show was too predictable and had bad writing.

After the third episode, the number of people who watched it went up, as people got used to its "2000s K-Drama" quirks.

King the Land is finally hitting its stride as it gets close to the halfway point. From June 26 to July 2, 2023, it was watched legally by 4,000,000 different people on Netflix alone.

It was also watched for a total of 24,500,000 hours. This made it the best show on Netflix that wasn't in English.

Not only that, but it was number one in seven countries, including Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam.

In 24 other countries, it stayed in the top 10 as well. Episode 6 had a local rating of 12% for people who didn't watch it on Netflix.

The people of Korea had nothing but good things to say about the show.

It's a lot of fun. The leads look good and get along well too.

I'm telling you, it's so much fun. Congrats!

Oh, good job! Things are getting more interesting.

It seems like everything that theqoo hates at first does well in the end. How funny LOL.

Wow.

So many kids acted like if this became famous, it would be the end of the world. The show seems to be going well.

How good is it? Should I watch it?

The fifth and sixth episodes were hilarious. I usually watch it on Netflix, but it looks like I'll have to start watching it live starting this week. I really like Cheon Sa Rang and Gu Won.

They make good jokes and are cute.

Since the show has a lot of fans, it's only a matter of time before it breaks even more records for how many people watch it.
